And what a summer it has been for our chapter – we ruled the links at our 25th Anniversary Golf Outing and danced the night away with other industry chapters in our area at Summer Bash. Our 2016-2017 Board of Directors was sworn into office, and our education and networking teams are hard at work planning can’t miss events for the fall. Look out for our 30/30 at the beginning of each month to see what we’ve been up to and what’s up next!

The 25th Anniversary of the MPIGNY Hard Rock Café Golf Outing was a huge success. We had 124 golfers, 55 planners and 60 sponsors who kept all of the players hydrated with a variety of specialty beverages. A special thanks to all of our sponsors – without them this golf outing would not be possible. It was a bit warm on the course, but everyone seemed to enjoy themselves as they networked with colleagues and sponsors. In the end, MPIGNY's Immediate Past President Robert Sanders and his teammates three-peated as winners of the coveted Penfold Cup. The 50-50 raffle raised more than $4,000, $2,000 of which went to one lucky planner. In a month's time, the Golf Committee will begin the process of planning next year's outing. So, if you didn't make it out this year, be sure to put it on your calendar for 2017.

 Last night, more than a hundred industry professionals gathered at one of New York's newest venues – Rock & Reilly's at the Renaissance New York Midtown – to get their networking on and to reconnect with their industry friends and colleagues. The sun was shining on the group as we enjoyed the rooftop terrace while sipping cocktails and enjoying the delicious hors d'oeuvres.
A huge thanks to the venue, Rock & Reilly's, for hosting a fantastic event and to our marquee sponsor, Kalahari Resorts & Conventions, for its generosity.
